Tapped the ends of my new Renthal Ultra Lows to accept those 300gm stainless bar ends.
Takes a great deal of effort to get that M16 tap going, but once it starts, it goes in straight as a die tap (There's nowhere else for it to go)
BONUS - The hand guards still fit and don't foul at all.
There will be no vibes with these dumb bells fitted.

I bought these

They need a bloody good T-bar on them in order to get an even purchase/twist on them, so you may want to ask around for one of those too.

After meeting Dablik and enjoying a chat yesterday at Hartside, today I have fitted the wingrack and my large capacity touring reservoir for my scottoiler to my 900.
Many many thanks Cliff.
The cable tie on the bottle frame is a breakaway.

That's bloomin genius!
Why not use an original, yellow 500ml, Scottoil bottle? lol

Converted Splodge's while we were in Portugal as he was getting sick of filling the S.O. V system up, (he has the S.O bottle now). When this lab bottle gives out I'll have the choice of blue n yella or hi temp red n yella S.O bottles.
Bottle holders can be had fer around £1
Holds over 0.7l & lasts fer ages/easy ta fill too, but one does get grubby scratchers when one has to fill it again.
Not an original idea of mine.

...wouldn't a "large capacity touring reservoir" be a good idea for 850's engine oil as well ? Kinda 4 litre piggyback reservoir "hidden" somewhere on the bike ?

Genius.
You could put it above the engine, below the fuel tank?
